Da una vuelta en tu silla = Turn around in your chair
Trae (pronouned trah ey) cinco tenedores = Go get 5 forks
Pon tu comida en tu plato = Put your food on your plate
No pongas tu comida en la mesa = Don't put your food on the table (the verb changes when used in a negative sense in this tense)
Sirve la agua = Pour the water
No sirvas demasiado = Don't serve too much (As in, don't give Sweet Terror more than a smidgeon of water or it will be all over the table in seconds)
Contengan los manos = This basically means keep your hands to yourself, or fold your arms for the prayer.
Sientense a la mesa = Sit your selves at the table (SIT DOWN!)
Arreglen las sillas = Arrange the chairs (We use folding chairs so I'm always telling the kids to put the chairs down and around the table)
No te muevas = Don't move (This one is for Pablo, a squirmer)
No muevas tu silla = Don't move your chair (This one is for Monster Man who likes to fall out of his chair)
No me toca = Don't touch me (sweet Terror likes to wipe her grubby paws on my shoulder during dinner)
So, now we can all yell at our kids and educate them at the same time. Enjoy!
P.S. If you've noticed that I have any of these wrong, please let me know. I like my yelling to be correct.
